I. Introduction / M&G
Theater is the art of writing and performing plays but it’s also the structure which have
rows seats, from where people can watch a performance. In fact, theaters are less and less
watched by people due to all other activities deemed more interesting.
So how can all theatrical companies still survive in these years of digital dominance?
To face this problem some theatrical companies had the idea of making a common
management of all their shows, so their theaters can welcome many other theatrical
companies and their staff can play in other places and not only on their theater respectively.
M&G our team is composed of VARATHLINGAM Mayouran and DELPHIN Gilbert, we
are main partners for these theaters to create all the needed databases. Our job is to help
them to manage correctly this network and optimize it to see all the advantages.
II. Short description of this network
How can these theatrical companies manage this new network?
If a theater want a company to play their show on their place, the theater has to pay
the company some costs ( comedians’ fees , staging costs and travel costs).
It’s not the case if the theater want it’s company to perform (there will be no travel costs).
Concerning the ticketing all the revenues from any representation go to the theater
where the show took place. For every representation there is an Initial Price and some
promotions can be applied depending on the situation of the client (Student , Children..) , days
separating the representation date and the ticket sell date or the load factor of the theater
for the particular representation.
Moreover, some grants are accorded to theaters depending of their cities or
supporter. For the case of Municipalities or Ministry of Culture there are negotiated with the
theater and have fixed durations.
So, we should consider all these functionalities and add some to correctly manages
this network.
